Best Timer Ever: The Invisible Clock

9:49 pm tools

For a long time, I searched in vain for the perfect timer. Many moons went by with my desires unfulfilled. Until, lo, I came upon the Invisible Clock and was happy.

The Invisible Clock has all the usual features one would expect of a timer, a basic countdown timer, alarms, stopwatch function, a nifty meeting timer, but the real gold in this clock is its custom timer.

The custom timer allows you to sent some length of time (say an hour) then have the timer go off and predetermined intervals, e.g. when 45 minutes left are left, and then 5 minutes left. The blessing of this little machine is it will infinitely loop the custom timer and signal different alarms for the different predetermined intervals.

I leave mine on constantly set to a thirty five minute timer. My Invisible Clock vibrates quietly once when thirty minutes have past and again when five minutes have past. In this way it keeps me on track working thirty minutes at a time with five minute breaks in between. The timer seems custom made for productivity strategies like Merlin Mann’s (10+2)*5 procrastination hack.

If you are interested in completely checking out all the functions and how they work of the invisible clock the instructions are available for download.
